More New Models

Hello everyone!

Today is my birthday, but it was celebrated Saturday. I only got three (well, Sonsela would have been the 4th, but I got her on my own) models this birthday because I have a horse now and asked for more stuff for him. :)

First up, and the Mid States Distributing Mustang set.

I am sorry for the bad pictures. I took these in mid day...just because I needed some pictures for this post. I will take more soon so the legs don't disappear into the background!!

These two are absolutely beautiful..and with Gretel being one of my favorite molds of all time, I was so happy to get her. Sadly, during the photo shoot she fell from a fence and now has some rubs, but she is still Photo Show quality. :( 

I happened to get the fall on camera. 

Gretel conga

My 3rd model is a 2015 Warmblood Mare Stablemate. She has a glossy sheen to her (and so does the Gretel) and has a very smooth paint job. I hand picked her and she is just beautiful.

I cannot wait to get into the show ring with these new models. I think they will take MEPSA and the IMEHA by storm. :)

....We All Knew It....

Remember this guy??

Okay then, you may not know who he is as a young colt, but maybe this picture will help your memory..

That is right. American Pharoah is racing and Breyer did what we all expected (or hoped, anyway). 

Yes!! A Traditional American Pharoah in the Ruffian  mold WITH a shortened tail! (We don't want the SBH Phoenix tail mistake on this model, do we?) 

Short Tail

Long Tail

But that isn't the only model that is going to made in honor if American Pharoah's Triple Crown win.

Are y'all excited for the new American Pharoah models?

Vet Appointment/Snow

Hello Everybody!

So, last Tuesday the vet came out to our barn for a regular checkup. Rosie and Half Pint needed their teeth floated and Sherman needed some lameness work done on him.

They had to sedate Rosie and Half Pint first. They put the "sedation drug" into a needle and thrust it into a big vein in the middle of their neck. I thought it would take a few minutes to work, but Rosie (who went first with the teeth floating) was out within a matter of 15 seconds. 

They put an interesting contraption on her face that kept her mouth open. 

Then they looked into her mouth with a light to check to see how and her teeth were. The vet said that these minis were the best looking he had ever seen physically and that their teeth looked great (but they still needed a little floating). 

The vet took a big dremmel and filed the teeth down. It was so cool to watch!! 

Then Half Pint went. 

As seen in the pictures below, the sleeping drug did not wear off for about two hours. 

Sherman then had his lameness test. He is slightly lame (on a scale from 1-5 a 2)  on the right side and we are considering doing hock injections. 

So, the weather had been very fair to us for the month of February, but this past week, all of the snow came falling down. We got about one foot of snow from last weekend and this afternoon the snow came down again, with another 6-8 inches expected. Yay. :/ 

The horses love it though. Before the "big storm" I let them out to run around a little. Ollie usually doesn't buck or run much, but he did when I let him out!

All four legs off the ground!!!

Sherman was wondering why the round pen was closed.

 Then the snow came DOWN.

                                            

After the big snow, I let the horses out again. Ollie acted like he had before...full of young horse energy. Surprisingly Sherbert (who loves the snow and loves to run) was very calm and didn't hardly break into a trot when I let him free.  

Rosie was not happy with how high the snow was. She followed my tracks. Such a 
sissy!! :) 

"I'm freeeeeeee!!"

He calmed down after a while, though. :) 

Brotherly (although they are not brothers) love.

Breyer Zodiac Collection

Hello, everybody!!

I finally have something model horse related to post! Yay!!

Have you all heard about the Zodiac collection yet???

While I am not (as you all know) into decorator models and prefer the model in a natural color, a few of these stood out to me for sure!!!!


Capricorn

Capricorn stood out to me the most. I love this mold, and the color is probably one of the few more natural in the series. Will most certainly be considering buying him!!


Aquarius



Pisces

Beautiful color!!!!




Aries



Taurus

Like Capricorn, his color is more "muted" than the other models and I may buy this one too.


Gemini

Glad to see that this mold is back!!!



Cancer



Leo

His model also stood out to me. very pretty, eye catching color.


Virgo

I was born on September 1st, so I may get this model for it. My favorite color is also blue, and I love his shading!


Libra



Scorpio



One other models have not been released, but they are on the big banner at the beginning of this post. Can you find them?

So, what do you think of the Zodiac collection??

Will you be buying any of them??
